Those computer logs are awesome. Thanks!
When do you guys expect the 2005 registration form to be on the website?
January 1 begins the Virtual Swim Series for 2005. Start logging your practice and meet yardage and see how far you swim during the year. We have added three types of computerized logs to transpose your distances into Virtual Swims. Each swim now has a graph that you can see your daily progress. Find the swims and logs in the Fitness Section. Entry Deadline for 2004 extended to Jan 30 so you can try the new logs.

The entry deadline for the 2004 Virtual Swim Series has been extended until Jan. 30. The registration form is only needed to send in your swims at the end of the year. You do not need it to put your practice or meet yardage into a Virtual Swim. I was going to wait until Feb. 1 to post the 2005 registration form so as not to confuse those still sending in their 2004 swims. The entries go to different host teams.
You can do any swim posted on the web now for 2005. There are 15 swims with multiple combinations. You can swim across a given lake one year and go lengthwise the next year. The graphs even can record the various options. We do need more swims for 2005. Anyone can write a swim on a body of water anywhere in the world. Contact me if you have any questions.
Pam, what a great form!! Thanks.
I agree! Great job on the forms. Very nice. Thank you.Originally posted by swimshark
Pam, what a great form!! Thanks.
Sounds like fun. As for ideas, being a Midwesterner relocated to the desert, might I suggest:
1. the Colorado River (swim throught the Grand Canyon)
2. the Mississippi River (get to New Orleans by Mardi Gras!)
3. the Missouri River (a "Lewis & Clark" swim?)
What about an Erie Canal Swim? Great Lakes? Just think of the possibilities!
Your ideas for new swims are great ones. I have been trying to get Sandi Rousseau to write up her 225 mile trip through the Grand Canyon, which she did last May. (Hope she reads this) Personal photos by someone who has been there would really be nice.
No one has done the Missouri or the Mississippi but the Baton Rouge group did do Lake Pontchartrain. We do have one swim in the Great Lakes and one on the Erie Canal by OHIO Masters. A swim in time for Mardi Gras would be great.
We are accepting swims from anywhere in the world. So all you travelers, send us a swim. You can find samples to help you with formatting in the Fitness Section of the website. They are easy and fun to do. You get to list your team and a couple of sentences about where you swim so it is great publicity. And of course we will make an awesome log for your swim!
I don't knowif it is me or what. When I follow the site, I don't get any virtual swims.
Hi Craig,
Try this link:
Many thanks to volunteer Mary Sweat for creating the new swim logs. Outstanding work!!
Thank you. Has anyone with the talent ever thought about doing somehting like the President's Challenge? I do it every year. I try to win bronze, silver and gold three times each year. Last year was the first time I wasn't able to do so. It took me six extra days in 2005 to doit. http://www.presidntschallenge.org. The site lets you compare yuor work with others inyour age group, city, state, or just the general population. It is an outgrowht of the test we used to take as children.
I think it would be a great income stream for USMS. they sell t0shirts and award buttons and lapel pins that participants purchase as one reaches a goal.

Good to know I was missed. I was, right?? Kolkata lived upto its promise, though the chingri malai didn't. Our cook at home, the eversmiling Anil ,does a far superior job of this delicately flavoured prawn dish. But at least I got to eat it with friends and make tch tch noises about falling standards and rising prices.
I was there as a jury member for a beauty pageant that has thrown up the likes of Bipasha, Koena and Celina over the years. All seriously oomphy ladies. Naturally every contestant on the ramp had Bollywood ambitions and stated them clearly, just in case there were a couple of B-Town producers\directors in the audience. At least two of the finalists were from Assam and mercifully did not talk about saving elephants\turtles\tigers\children if they won the title - they wanted to save themselves from a life of obscurity and hit the big time in Bollywood. Thank God that nauseating era of beauty queens wanting to save the world and work for Mother T are finally over. After much singing, dancing, prancing and preening, the lovely winner was crowned. She shed a few tears on cue, kissed her rivals and posed for the cameras while her beaming parents looked on proudly. Gawd! I'd never want my daughters there. This was my post-pageant thought as we jury members sampled fragrant biryani ( Bong-style, with a sprinkling of kewra water), and discussed Bollywood prospects for those beauties we'd just seen crowned. My face gave away nothing. Good luck, ladies...

Is harmonization of continuing medical education possible around the world or around the block? I spent the month of June seeking an answer, especially as I was preparing my presentations for the Global Alliance for Medical Education annual meeting. My first challenge was to understand what harmonization really means. I went in thinking that harmonization meant that CME would be viewed, developed, and provided all around the world with similar goals and approaches. Harmonization could really occur on so many levels, from the 10,000-foot perspective of developing a worldwide definition of CME/CPD to creating similar commercial-support regulations to establishing global reciprocity of credits.
It seemed to me that harmonization should not only be possible, but also be easily attainable. Consider the following: physicians worldwide have ongoing medical-education needs; medical educators follow the same basic tenets globally; commercial support is available in many geographic regions; and as a profession, CME has global key opinion leaders.
Focus Locally First
At GAME, I had the honor of moderating the closing panel of the meeting. Our task was simple: Summarize the meeting on a regional and global level, and opine regarding global harmonization. The panel consisted of thought leaders with experience in developing and implementing CME in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. As I listened, I began to realize that global CME harmonization was not going to occur as rapidly or as easily as I had initially thought. We really were still focusing on what needed to change within our own geographic regions.
My panelists were far more aware of the challenges than I was … it was time to remove my rose-colored glasses and see the global CME landscape for what it is: disparate without being desperate, wary without being scary. Globally, there are many smart and driven CME professionals trying to make things work within their own regions. Yes, global harmonization isn't possible until local harmonization occurs. And there are challenges. Consider Germany, where CME is mandatory for the country's 307,000 physicians and is overseen by the Federal German Medical Association, 17 separate medical chambers responsible for CME/CPD, more than 500 medical associations and societies, and innumerable commercial organizers.
Many would say that the work of the European Union of Medical Specialists/European Accreditation Council for CME will speed up global harmonization. But they must get the 26 full European Union members, three European Economic Area members, and five associate members into harmonization. UEMS-EACCME is working double time, both accrediting individual activities and working to harmonize European CME. They are on the right track, but they're not finished yet.
One of the next CME conferences I attended, held in London and organized by the Center for Business Intelligence, proved to be a great forum for discussion among European CME organizers and commercial supporters. The challenges of intra-country regulatory differences and guidelines surrounding commercial support were identified. For example, when organizers develop activities for global audiences, should they follow the regulations in the country in which the activities take place or in the countries from which the attendees and faculty hail? There were more questions than answers.
So where does that leave us regarding global CME harmonization? Well, we have a starting point: Harmonize at home before we try to harmonize with others. Collaborate and discuss, find opportunities to work across borders on a small scale, and share the results with others. The only way that we can reach our goal someday is to work together starting today.
Lawrence Sherman, FACME, is president and CEO of Physicians Academy for Clinical and Management Excellence, New York. A 12-year CME veteran, he is a frequent lecturer on topics related to the strategic development, dissemination, and evaluation of CME activities. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS about Nell Minow and the regulation of executive compensation. This past June, Minow was among a small group of experts who met with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to discuss executive compensation. Mentions the public anger over bonuses paid out by A.I.G. and other financial companies after receiving bailout money from the federal government. Americans aren't necessarily opposed to gargantuan pay packages, but injustice is another matter, and the nation's ongoing financial crisis has provided numerous occasions for public fury. This summer, President Obama appointed Kenneth R. Feinberg, a Washington lawyer, as the country's "special master" on corporate pay. In recent months, there have been calls for establishing a ratio between a C.E.O.'s salary and the average wage; for controlling the use of stock options; and for capping certain salaries. Minow argues for a different approach. She thinks the government's efforts to control compensation directly are typically ineffective. Her preferred remedy is to allow the market to deal with most such problems, by removing impediments that prevent shareholders from playing the role that economic theory says they are supposed to play. "I want executives to create shareholder value, and I want them to earn a lot of money when they are successful. But I do not want them to be paid a lot of money when they fail," Minow says. Executives currently have abundant opportunities to enrich themselves at shareholders' expense, and to pursue business strategies that serve their own interests rather than those of their companies' putative owners. Tells about Lens, an investment fund created by Minow and Robert A. G. Monks. In the mid-nineties, Monks and Minow scored one of their biggest successes, in a lengthy confrontation with Sears. Monks and Minow founded the Corporate Library in 1999. The company's main product is a huge database which aggregates and analyzes public information about thousands of companies. The database is a manifestation of Monks's and Minow's conviction that the antidote to many forms of corporate malfeasance is full public disclosure. Mentions several prominent C.E.O.s, including Jack Welch and Robert Nardelli. Tells about the "compensation fairness" bill, which passed the House in July.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a form of child abuse
in which a parent induces real or apparent symptoms of a disease in a child.
This syndrome almost always involves a mother abusing her child by seeking unneeded medical attention for the child. It is rare and poorly understood. The cause is unknown.
The mother may fake symptoms of illness in her child by adding blood to the child's urine or stool, withholding food, falsifying fevers, secretly giving the child drugs to make the child throw up or have diarrhea, or using other tricks, such as infecting intravenous (given through a vein) lines to make the child appear or become ill.
These children are often hospitalized with groups of symptoms that don't quite fit any known disease. Frequently, the children are made to suffer through unnecessary tests, surgeries, or other uncomfortable procedures.
The parent is usually very helpful in the hospital setting and is often appreciated by the nursing staff for the care she gives her child. She is often seen as devoted and self-sacrificing, which can make medical professionals unlikely to suspect the diagnosis of Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Her frequent visits unfortunately also make the child accessible to her so that she can induce further symptoms. Changes in the child's condition are almost never witnessed by hospital staff and almost always occur only in the mother's presence.
Munchausen syndrome occurs because of psychological problems in the adult, and is generally an attention-seeking behavior. The syndrome can be life-threatening for the child involved.
Once the syndrome is recognized, the child needs to be protected and removed from direct care of the parent. The affected parent should not be accused directly, but offered help.
Because this is a form of child abuse, the syndrome must be reported to the authorities. Psychiatric counseling will be recommended for the parent involved, but since the disorder is rare, very little is known about effective treatment.
This is a difficult disorder to treat in parents. There is little information available about the best types of treatment or what the outcome will be. It usually requires years of psychiatric support.
Children may require medical care to treat injuries the parent inflicted, as well as psychiatric care to deal with depression, anxiety, and other conditions that can be provoked by child abuse. Some children may die from infections or other injuries inflicted by parents with Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
The child can have complications from injuries, infections, medications, surgeries, or tests. Risk for psychological complications like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and others is increased in survivors of child abuse.
This condition is diagnosed by the health care provider when the child is treated for various symptoms. If you find that you have urges to harm your child, seek psychiatric care immediately.
Recognition of Munchausen syndrome by proxy in the child-parent relationship can prevent continued abuse and unnecessary, expensive, and possibly dangerous medical testing.

The Vespa PX125 has essentially remained unchanged since its introduction in 1977, but it doesn't feel 35 years old. Subtle changes to keep the Vespa up to date and to get it through Euro 3 emissions regulations mean it feels similar to a modern scooter, only with a two-stroke, manual engine.

Commitment to academic achievement and adherence to member-created rules are vital parts of the NCAA's mission to integrate athletics into the fabric of higher education. NCAA member schools create rules to ensure that the Association's 430,000 student-athletes compete on equal footing. Various NCAA committees and the national office staff members work to make sure rules are applied fairly.
The term "student-athlete reinstatement" describes the process used to restore the eligibility of a student-athlete involved in an NCAA rules violation.

If an institution determines that a student-athlete was involved in a violation that affects eligibility, it must declare that student-athlete ineligible. At that point, the institution must investigate, gather facts and submit a reinstatement request to the NCAA national office staff.
During the reinstatement process, specially trained NCAA staff members review each case on its own merits and facts. The staff members then provide an initial decision based on guidelines established by the Division I NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. Those guidelines include the nature and seriousness of the violation, any impermissible benefits received and the student-athlete's level of responsibility. Staff also considers any relevant case precedent and whatever mitigating factors the university presents.
Reinstatement decisions are independent of the NCAA enforcement process and typically are made once the facts of the student-athlete's involvement are determined. Most cases are resolved quickly. In fact, many likely conclude before an investigation closes.
The decision can be reinstatement, reinstatement with conditions, or denial.
If the institution disagrees with the NCAA staff's decision, it can appeal to the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement for the applicable division. Those Divisions I and II groups are composed of representatives from NCAA member institutions and conferences. They can reduce or remove the conditions the staff has imposed, but they cannot increase them.Last Updated: May 31, 2012

Wondering if any Moms in the Dubuque, Iowa area would like to become friends. I use to live here a couple years ago, but since then friends have gone. Looking for someone to chat with and do thing in general with.
or Mom groups in the Dubuque area!
I'm a couple hours away in Cedar Rapids
Hey Brinny, if I was still going to Des Moines I'd say lets visit, but we can definitely talk! (:
How many little ones do you have?
I have one little girl (Hazel) for now. We have agreed to talk about the possibility of adding another soonish, but no real plans yet. I think i read on another post that you're a first time mom? so i'm assuming you also only have one. What brought you back to Dubuque?
Aw! Hazel is a beautiful name (: yay! Are you hoping for a boy this time or doesn't matter? I came back to dubuque bc chris and I were going through troubles so I wanted to be closer to my family for the pregnancy. Chris ended up straightening his act so he moved down here to be with us (:
Thanks, we found it in my fiances family tree about seven generations back. I would really love to add a boy, but i would be perfectly happy with another little girl too. My fiance is convinced that when we finally try for another baby that it will be a girl also. He says it's just a feeling he has haha. Well it's good to hear that you're close to family and that Chris (boyfriend, husband?) has changed for the better and is with you also.
I swear I replied to this, sorry. But that is awesome keeping it in the family (: and that's great i'm not sure If I could handle sisters ;p lol but my brother and I were probably not much different lol Chris is my boyfriends and yes he has, So much better, and I'm thankful for that, he really use to be a monster. He's a completely different person, more like the man I thought I felll in love with in the begining before I realized how wrong I was lol, but it's great now (:

The New Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council
- Details
- Created on Monday, 03 April 2006 01:35
- Written by Staff
The Council is solely a Board of Directors (volunteers) and a small administrative staff for day to day operations of the Council. The 12-member Board of Directors is an independent group of professionals, representing a broad array of interests. They include commercial laundry operators, association executives, co-op and on-premise laundry operators, and representatives of federal government organizations.
Fee-Based Inspection Process
The fee-based inspection process will be entirely voluntary, but the Council anticipates leading healthcare laundries, both for- profit and non-profit, will seek accreditation. The current fee is $5,000 per plant, with $1,000 due upon registration, and the balance due before the inspection date. Multiple plants owned by the same organization receive a 20% per plant discount. The fee is all-inclusive. It includes pre-inspection materials, the inspection itself (one day), the formal inspection report, and all necessary follow-up after the inspection. The inspector's fee and travel expenses are included in the HLAC fee.
What Does Accreditation Mean To Your Facility?
When HLAC accredits a laundry that processes healthcare linen, it warrants that the organization has successfully passed an inspection of its facility, policies and procedures, training programs, and its relationships with its healthcare customers. The inspection is based on Accreditation Standards for Processing Reusable Textiles for Use in Healthcare Facilities. These Standards have been developed and are published by the Council, and are based on federal regulations and guidelines, as well as best industry practices. A copy of the Standards is available on HLAC'S Web site, http://www.hlacnet.org.
What Do The Standards Cover?
The Accreditation Standards for Processing Reusable Textiles for use in Healthcare Facilities cover the complete textile processing cycle, from handling and transporting soiled healthcare textiles, to in-plant processing and delivery back to the customer. The Standards also cover many basic considerations, such as facility layout, personnel training, and customer service. Special attention has been directed to OSHA required practices, including Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Standards.

Skull Video Process pt.1 + Dead Cats
Hello! Wanted to share part of my process regarding the Skull and Shark teaser trailer. Check out the trailer here if you haven't seen it!
Basically for most of the video I tried to cut time and get results by using photos. Its pretty much just rotoscope but I'm not that great at it haha. I've got a more complicated video comin up that hopefully will utilize this technique a bit better though. I wanted to post about this because I know in illustration theres a lot of pride around hand drawing everything from nothin. But if the point is to just get across an idea and have a quick way to show what you're thinking I don't think its a problem to rotoscope.
So heres what I did. Basically just took a handful of photos(not the best technique, i do video now). But it worked for what I wanted, just simple movement. This isn't the only place in the video I used photo but I figured I'd post this example.
First I put on a basic example of Skull's jacket and did the head turn I wanted
After this I took a series of photos of the Skull I use for reference
At this point I just combined the frames and replaced my head with the skull. Which led to me doing linework over each frame and painting them.
Simple final animation -
Hope that helps anyone who is thinking of doing something like this! All of the work in the video was done using Photoshop CS6 and the Timeline tool.
And heres the bonus Dead Cats painting -

Elvis CostelloDeclan Patrick McManus
Born: 8/25/1954
Birthplace: London, England
Influential rocker of the post-punk '70s scene best known for songs such as "Alison" (1977) and "Everyday I Write the Book" (1983). Costello started out in the early '70s British club scene performing both solo and in groups. His debut release, My Aim Is True (1977), was voted Album of the Year in the Rolling Stone critics' poll. His band the Attractions paved the way for New-Wave with albums such as This Year's Model (1977), Armed Forces (1978), and Punch the Clock (1983). When Costello returned to solo work with Spike (1989), Rolling Stone critics again took notice, voting him Songwriter of the Year. Costello continues to record and tour, as well as produce. His third wife is jazz musician Diana Krall.

SAS (Cary, N.C.) today announced the release of a new analytics platform deigned to help several different sectors -- including financial services -- guard against losses from fraud and improper payments, regulatory non-compliance, and security threats.
According to the company, SAS Security Intelligence employs continuous monitoring technology and high-performance analytics to assist in preventing losses and improving accuracy. The enhanced infrastructure uses common analytic detection and investigation components to address fraud and improper payments, regulatory compliance and security objectives across industries, said SAS.
"There is no common nomenclature to define financial crimes across industries," said Stu Bradley, Senior Director for Security Intelligence Solutions at SAS. "SAS extends far beyond historically defined financial crime to issues related to regulatory compliance, national security, public safety, network security and law enforcement. This important distinction emphasizes the breadth of SAS' industry-leading capabilities."

Hey Guys
Thanks to the people taking the time to explain issues and stuff, It help so much for someone who is used to play on "real" gear (am old school you see)
But my back hurts after too many gigs with a fender twin 2 guitars and a bag full of pedals...
Just bought my hd 500, a bit of a head fuck but I am confident it will be great for getting good sound from my strat and telecaster....
Will be back soon here with some questions about that am sure ;-)
But I have simple one if you can help.
Does anyone uses the hd 500 to plug an acoustic guitar and a mic?
(Like in a small club/bar without an amp, having a guitar and a mic plugged in to the HD 500 straight to the mixer/PA)
I tried for a bit and got a bit desilutionned as I think the hd 500 is 100% for electric and the mic is just a gimmick.
If someone out here could give me few tips on how to make an accoustic and a Mic sound descent with the HD i would appreciate.
For guitar I use a Taylor + lr baggs M1A
and for mic a shure sm58 (as I understand it as to be a dynamic not a condenser)
Please help guys, just few guidelines...
by maquinghen on 2011-11-20 17:39:06
By the way I just upgraded to the firmware 1.4 and I heard that they kinda help with accoustic guitar and mic, but I can't see anything different in my hd 500 ;-(
by Apologist on 2011-11-20 17:53:32
If your Taylor comes with the baggs pickup system I would just plug direct into the HD using either regular direct in or xlr. Experiment with some of the preset sounds made specifically for Acoustics ..around banks 4 through 6 I think ..some are quite good and dont require a great deal of tweaking to sound really good when going direct to PA.
If you have your heart set on micing up your acoustic or have no choice I would still use those presets made for acoustic/bass/vocals section and go through the acoustic patches as a starting point.
The reason you may hear a difference is the new firmware now allows for adjustments to input impedance I think the default is auto which is what I leave mine on and it sounds great but you can make custom settings for this and save it per patch.
by maquinghen on 2011-11-20 18:22:02
Thanks man
nice to have a reply here. ;-)
Only problem is that I updated to 1.4 (and it was successful)
But still can't see the "preset sounds made specifically for Acoustics" and "acoustic/bass/vocals section and go through the acoustic patches"
I heard of them but can't find them???
Looks like they improoved on that but If you could tell me where to find them it would be awsome.
All i have is best of 500, dual tones.....and the empty presets i am starting to fill up.
Can't see where those presets are.
and let me know if you have 2 minutes.
by silverhead on 2011-11-20 18:25:43
The presets are there but you may not notice them because the Setlist Names are not changed in a firmware update. Check out all the Setlists in the new firmware - you should see the presets you are missing.
..... of course this assumes that you opted to replace rather than retain existing presets during the firmware update..........
by maquinghen on 2011-11-20 18:43:53
hum that is tricky, thanks for taking the time...;-)
I can't remember I had the option about: overwritting some factory presets....
I will try to update again.
Thanks Silver
by maquinghen on 2011-11-20 19:05:43
I really hope I can re-update the 1.4?
So far I can't bcuz of a poxy internet key who take both USB port space out of my Mac,
so I'll have to wait till tomorrow....-(
And sorry to bother you but you said "the Setlist Names are not changed in a firmware update"
But I found this guy on the forum saying (about 1.4):
"I love 'Banana Bass' and the synth bass stuff is aggressive and dirty. The acoustic stuff is good also, I got stuck for about an hour playing 'Guilded Choir'. Miked Vocal also sounded good on my acoustic!"
So how come this guy has got the presets names???
Anyway Silver you are great
Be my friend lol
Again am new to this, but not dumb and I might ask you questions from time to time if you don't mind.
Good night ;-) (here in Europe)
by TheRealZap on 2011-11-20 19:14:05
preset names change without doing anything....
SETLIST names take extra steps to change...
so you can have the presets, under differently names setlists if you skipped the extra steps.
by maquinghen on 2011-11-21 08:40:35
Ok I re-updated successfuly 1.4
Thanks again for the tip ;-) really appreciate.
But for your knowlege the presets name do change too...
I now have to figure out which will sound best with my acoustic guitar and also with my sm58 mic.
And most of all how to have both mic and acoustic playing together on 2 mono channel.
If you know about a tutorial or a disscusion on this topic " pluging guitar plus a mic"
Please let me know, I have seen nothing so far.
Thanks again SH
by maquinghen on 2011-11-21 09:44:23
For all mongs like me,
The new 1.4 update "acoustic GT, Mic and bass" presets are to be found in the dual preset section!!!
And It looks like they have some ready made preset for acoustic+vocal already made.
Whaoo impressed, that was all I was asking for and here it comes with the new update ;-)
Now, why are the bass, acoustic and mic "only" preset, in this "dual tones" section is still a ?
Will try it later and give you a feed back.
by maquinghen on 2011-11-21 15:21:59
I am only writting here to update on the GT acoustic + Mic on the HD 500 and the new presets 1.4 firmware update. And this is for beginers only (sorry to bore advanced nerds)
(I am starting with this digital shit and got many tips on this forum from nice people, so I am also trying to help )
So recap, you can find the new 1.4 frimwar updated presets : bass, gt acoustic and mic; under the dual tone preset.
But that is not all, a good thing for people like me who want to play with an acoustic and a mic straight into a mixer/pa/small bar type thing...is that there is a set of new preset called acoustic/vocal
Now don't get over excited only few of them will do the job, some of them have heavy distortion on an acoustic guitar??? and stupid awful harmonizer on the vocal chanel, I guess Line 6 guys show us what "we" can do.
So not amazing but pretty handy in my position right now (am playing live Gt acoustic+ mic) in 3 days, and bought my hd 500 2 days ago...
Will try to give more tips in the next couple of days and let you know.
If anyone can guide me further please do, every thing helps at the mo.
by maquinghen on 2011-11-25 03:38:49
OK update for those concerned
Just had a gig in a small club.
Taylor acoustic + lr baggs m1a
Shure sm58
I used the n*4 "acoustic/mic" preset in the "dual tone" preset list (I tweaked it a bit)
Set to line output, and went straight to the mixing desk.
Well it was ok, not mad, but ok.
Now a small problem:
for some reason my guitar and my voice ended up split in the P.A (mic on the left, gt on the right) even though both mono chanel were panned in the middle in the mixing desk.
We only had a limited amount of time so we tried the unbalanced output in 1/4" jack and it worked.
Would not use the Mic going through the hd500 (only for the loop effect- but not the lead vocal) if I play in a venue with a good desk (preamps) and a nice reverb. as I was not convinced by the sound coming out of the HD500.
Next I will try some of the guitar acoustic "only" presets
and keep updating
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Well, we have been replying for months that it just wouldn't work (e.g., see "Verifying kids' ages: Key […]
US sites, foreign social networking
When the user-driven social Web meets the fairly evolved consumer-privacy and free-speech laws of the US (where many social-networking sites are based) meets the laws and sensibilities of the country where the US company's customers are, things get complicated. And very messy, sometimes. Take Brazil, for example. There, Google's social-networking site Orkut.com "has become a […]
Microsoft's moves in social space
More obvious this week were Microsoft's plans for the social Web both mobile and fixed. CEO Steve Ballmer said in a keynote at the mobile phone industry's (CTIA's) big fall 2007 trade show in San Francisco that the mobile phone is becoming "the universal remote control for your life" (see this CNET blog post). That's […]
Social-networking sights on Asia
There's a "colossal scrum among the world's biggest social networks for the hearts and mouse clicks of millions of people in India, China, and elsewhere in Asia," Business Week reports. It adds that MySpace and Facebook are scrambling to replace "established homegrown networks and foreign sites, especially Orkut and Friendster" (Orkut has a well-established beachhead […]

Assistant Professor Victoria Adams-Zischke currently is featured in the role of Belinda Blair in Noises Off! on stage at the St. Louis Repertory Theatre through April 13, 2014.
"Everybody contributes a bright character and goofy physical comedy to this group effort…. Singly, each one is a treat; together, they're a comedic juggernaut." Judith Newmark, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Noises Off! is the story of a traveling actors' troupe putting on a prop-heavy sex-farce (Nothing On), with seven doors slamming left and right, and little or no time to get it right. And then, of course, all the usual things that typically would go wrong in the privacy of a normal rehearsal schedule must transpire on the road, during the tour, and in the midst of various performances. Reviews for the comedy that concludes the season for the St. Louis Rep have been superb.
Noises Off! returns to the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis after the initial production 25 years ago and this time it's just as hilarious and just as finely tuned." Stage Door St. Louis
"It's a remarkable, breathless, end-of-the-world experience, in the best possible way. It's like electro-shock therapy, I imagine: everything else just sizzles into non-existence, in the face of sheer comic terror and abandon. Miraculous." Richard Green, Talking Broadway
The work of Christopher Ganz, associate professor of printmaking and drawing at IPFW, will be featured in an exhibition titled Shades: Contemporary Drawing, March 4-April 1 at the University Art Galleries (UAG) at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, S.D. The UAG exhibit hopes to raise the profile of drawing by presenting it as an autonomous discipline within fine art.
"The purpose of the show is to display a cross section of approaches to contemporary drawing, with artists of different styles and technique," said Ganz. "I will be exhibiting in a large space with artists Alison Denyer, Shelby Shadwell, and Michael Sleadd and will have 55 feet of wall space to fill."
In speaking of his work Ganz said, "I use charcoal and printmaking media as their tenebrous values add a fitting metaphor. The nuances of light and shadow seduce viewers into a world their better judgment would have them avoid. This provokes a sense of disquietude that causes viewers to assess our world through the austerity of a colorless, yet not humorless, light."

The IPFW Department of Music now has the instruments it needs to sound better than ever. They have received funding from the Office of the Chancellor for new instruments; among them an alto flute, a four-octave xylophone, and a new set of timpani, all instrument models that are appropriate for college-level musicians and necessary to perform the complex music literature that trains college musicians to work professionally.
College of Visual and Performing Arts Dean John O'Connell sought $110,000 in funding from available funds from the chancellor on behalf of the Department of Music in August 2013. "Many of the instruments in use had been purchased in 1964, when the university opened and some were literally being held together with duct tape," said O'Connell, "Although most students have their own personal instruments, the department owns some that are shared by many students such as large percussion. Also, some instruments are not practical for individual purchase, for instance the contrabass clarinet or the bass saxophone."
Dr. Barbara Resch, Department of Music chair, and Dr. Dan Tembras, director of instrumental studies, prepared the request for new musical instruments. After assessing the department's needs, Resch and Tembras compiled a list of instruments that the department lacked or needed to replace. Tembras solicited bids from respected vendors including payment options over several years and the cost for a one-time purchase. The request was approved for the entire amount.
The instruments will be used by our curricular instrumental ensembles, including several chamber music ensembles. Two marimbas made their debut in a recent concert by the Percussion Ensemble, and percussion instructor Eric Schweikert pointed out that some of the works performed would have been impossible before the acquisition of the new instruments. "The instruments are just beginning to arrive," said O'Connell, who recently inspected several of the new instruments. "They are very impressive and I was very excited to see them."
Instruments in the purchase include a Di Zhao alto flute, a Buffet bass clarinet, a Selmer Paris contrabass clarinet, an International Winds bass saxophone, a set of four Adams Philharmonic timpani, two Adams five-octave marimbas, a Yamaha vibraphone, chimes and a glockenspiel by Adams, a Pearl Philharmonic field drum and bass drum stand, and several sets of Zildjian cymbals.
The IPFW Fine Arts and Visual Communication and Design faculty were featured in an exhibition at Indiana University East's new fine arts gallery, Room 912, located in downtown Richmond, Ind. The exhibition, Regional Impact: Faculty Work from the IU Regional Campuses ran from January 31 – March 7, 2014, and also included faculty members from IU East in Richmond, IU Kokomo, IUN in Gary, IUSB in South Bend, and IUSE in New Albany.
IPFW faculty featured in this exhibition included John Hrehov, Nancy McCroskey-Hrehov, Derek Decker, Brandon Furness, Robert F. Schroeder, Audrey Ushenko, Jim Gabbard, Christopher Ganz, Dana Goodman, Sara Nordling, James Jur, Gretchen Kunberger, Mikhael Antone and Andres Montenegro.
Robert F. Schroeder, professional curator and associate faculty in metalsmithing, traveled to Richmond to see the gallery and exhibition, which includes his work. "The gallery is in a double wide former retail store front on Main Street in downtown Richmond, and community outreach is the main focus of the gallery's use of this space. They are teaching several extension adult art classes in the space, collaborating with the Richmond Art Museum and other local arts organizations," said Schroeder.
Schroeder went on to say, "The University has prepared the walls of the gallery to support framed art works and be repaired easily for rotating exhibitions and changing the art works displayed. They installed track lighting and have movable walls to change the configuration of the floor plan, giving them flexibility for hosting smaller as well as a bit larger exhibitions."
This event is the first event at IU East's new downtown gallery and it is hoped the exhibit will help increase accessibility to the arts and help educate the public about the importance of the arts, while improving the quality of life in the area. In speaking of the gallery, Katherine Frank, dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at IU East, believes that having students and faculty contribute to and experience this process will strengthen teaching and learning in Richmond and help rejuvenate the city.

The Crusaders' season will begin for the second straight year at the Rebel Spring Games in Orlando, Fla., as they will take the field for 12 games against opponents to be determined.

Funeral for a Friend are a Welsh post-hardcore band from Bridgend who formed in 2001. The band's line-up comprises lead vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye, guitarist Kris Coombs-Roberts, guitarist Gavin Burrough, bassist Richard Boucher and drummer Pat Lundy.
Funeral for a Friend's popularity rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their debut album, Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation (2003). Achieving both a gold certification and three top twenty singles in their home country, Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation is often acclaimed as one of the landmark punk records of the 2000s.
Hours (2005) and Tales Don't Tell Themselves (2007) showed an evolution in Funeral for a Friend's musical style from the style which defined their debut, as the group began to diverge from their use of screaming vocals, heavy metal influenced guitars, favouring more melodic rock influences. These albums achieved gold and silver sales certificates respectively in the UK.

Brock Armstrong and Andrew Justice spot each other. They quickly and quietly initiate a conversation with their cocks doing all the talking. But Brock wants more so he starts sucking on Andrewââ¬â¢s dick, his tongue sliding up and down the curved shaft before he swallows it whole. Andrew wants his share; he first dives into Brockââ¬â¢s asshole, rimming the hairy crevice with gusto before he starts nursing on his cock. Aroused to the tits, Andrew drives his dick into Brockââ¬â¢s ass for a heavy bump-a-rump session. He pumps away furiously. Ready to climax, he pulls out to shower his manjizz all over his fuckbuddyââ¬â¢s chest. Brock follows and jerks himself off. He spooges all over Andrewââ¬â¢s boot, then licks it all clean.

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce a groundbreaking partnership with the Sauber F1 Team, bringing together two of global sport's biggest names.
The unique partnership forges a relationship between two internationally successful teams with fantastic heritage who share the same excitement and passion for performance, bringing unique content and experiences to football and F1 fans.
At the Chinese Grand Prix earlier this month, subtle Chelsea branding 'Out of the blue' featured on Sauber F1 team cars, and 'True Blue' continued the tease at the Bahrain race, leaving fans guessing as to its meaning.
The image above features a 'Welcome Chelsea FC' message on the Sauber F1 team car, which will be used during testing in Italy tomorrow.
We can now reveal the official partnership launch will take place at the Spanish Grand Prix next week. From then, the Champions League finalists' crest will proudly be displayed on the cars of drivers Kamui Kobayashi, of Japan, and Mexico's Sergio Perez.
The Premier League and Formula 1 are the most watched sports around the globe and with 20 F1 races in 2012 spread right across the world, the excitement of F1 is set to reach almost half of the planet's population, ensuring Chelsea's exposure to many more than the already record worldwide numbers tuning in to watch Premier League action.
The new partnership is focused on ways to enhance sporting and business performance. This includes the exchange of knowledge in sport science, launching joint commercial initiatives, merchandising, events, marketing and linked sponsorship opportunities.
Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay said: 'This is an innovative partnership that will see a football club link up with an F1 team like never before, bringing together two of the world's biggest sports and uniting our fans.
'We felt that this Swiss team, the fourth oldest of the existing teams, reflects our own ideals perfectly.
'In a year when Chelsea celebrates 20 seasons as a Premier League team, Sauber does so as an F1 team. We share many philosophies when it comes to how the respective organisations are run, from the development of young talent to constantly striving for success. Their philosophy towards grassroots development has produced some of the best drivers in F1, which mirrors our dedication to develop promising young football talent through our Academy.
'This partnership will benefit us both greatly, with the potential to create unique commercial opportunities. It is a shared vision to unite the two most attractive sports in the world.
'We look forward to working closely with the Sauber F1 Team and wish them the very best of luck for the remainder of the Formula 1 season.'
Monisha Kaltenborn, CEO of the Sauber F1 Team, added: 'A partnership like this between Formula 1 and football has never existed before in this form, yet there are numerous commonalities and possible synergies. In either case we are talking about team sport at the highest - and international - level. The Sauber F1 Team and Chelsea FC are dealing with many of the same sporting and commercial topics and we want to strengthen each other in these areas.'
